“WASHINGTON (AP) – An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has left at least one person dead and 50 others sick, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers nationwide not to eat bagged fresh spinach…”
I just bought a bag yesterday.
I’m keeping it.
I’ll wash it real good.
I LOVE my spinach, damnit.
I saw where Indiana is one of the states included in the ‘warning.’
I will NOT do without my spinach salad, E-coli be damned!
If you’re going to “wash it real good” why buy bagged at all? Take the extra five minutes to take off stems and give the fresh stuff a couple of good soaks to get the dirt off.
Besides, fresh won’t have that funny bleach aftertaste…
I can’t stand bagged veggies like spinach or salads. They have this nasty flavour that tastes like the plastic they’re bagged in. The stuff in plastic containers seems to be okay though. Has that been affected? 'Cos I likes me some organic Spring Mix with savoury balsamic…
Damn - I just bought 2 bags the other day, and thought I was being all good doing something to get more greens in the fambly.
Will eating the spinach constitute living on the edge in our slice of whitebread suburbia?
Potentially stupid question, but I bought spinach 2 days ago in one of those plastic tubs, not a bag. Is there something specific to the tainted spinach being bagged that excludes me from having to throw out mine?
